- A year ago, Airlift halted operations on the transit service, and diversified into last-mile delivery to build the rails of commerce. Today, our team closed $85m in Series B financing to scale quick commerce across continents.
- Excited to sign an MoU with the Minister for Science and Technology @fawadchaudhry for Airlift to bring the first wave of electric buses to Pakistan, a move that we hope other players will follow. Lets play our role in making a greener Pakistan! #PakistanKaAirlift @aysharalam

- Lahore desperately needs masks to help flatten the curve — willing to pay to have masks produced en masse (100K+). Can be produced on old school sewing machines. If you work in manufacturing and can help — reach out at [email protected] #COVID19Pakistan
- Excited to achieve this milestone with the @rideairlift team. We feel lucky to be working with @aatif_awan who wrote the first large check when we were still doing only 80 rides/day. #021DisruptCongrats to @rideairlift team on securing $12M series A financing, led by @firstround a leading US VC with notable investments in Uber, Square and Looker. Indus Valley Capital and I have been believers from the early days when they were doing 80 rides/day
- In order to combat Covid-19, we want to take decisive and timely action -- Airlift has suspended operations, effective March 18th. We urge other players to also act in the collective interest, to be proactive and not reactive

- Great to see Airlift shaping the mass transit system in Lahore. Creating options for affordable mobility enables financial freedom, increases labor force participation rates. @CERPakistan @aatif_awan @taidrusI just went to UET from WAPDA Town and came back for free “hassle free” without anyone ripping me off since I’m new here. Thank you for existing @rideairlift 🥺👏🏼❤️
00:00 - Bold & urgent action needed against Lahore’s hazardous air quality, which is taking years off our lives. Each and every one of us has a role in this —need priority and regulatory action from both the private sector and the government.
